Boeing 707-300 & -400 series
AI Model for FS2002 & FS2004 ATC

***************************************

Credits:
Bill Alderson: for his original 707 AF5 model for FS5.
Marco Balzarotti: for his conversion of Bill's 707 model to a B720B (AF5 model). I used Marco's old AF5 model as a reference to build B720 model, also using his and Bill's PCX graphic's files to build my texture file for the new model.
Tom Gibson: for modifing my Boeing 720B model into this new B707-300/400 model.
Mike Stevens: for his new base textures for the B707-300 and -400 models.

This model was built with FSDS version 2.24, primarily for use as an AI model in FS2002 and FS2004's ATC traffic.

707-320 turbojet AI textures modified by Mike Stevens.  In this main folder are two sets of folders.  For early 320 with JT3C/D turbojets and the non modified tail without the ventral fin, use the folder named "texture", and the folder named "model".  For -400s equipped with Conway engines, use the folder named "texture.conways".  If the aircraft has had tail modifications for dutch roll, such as BOAC aircraft did, use the folder named "model.v".

General Notes:
This is another one of my "community project" models.
This model is currently in development and I'll make more updates to it as I get reports from people who use it.
The texture is a basic master, 256 color (8-bit), 1024x1024 bitmap. Chrome reflections, and lightmap for night lighting are activated. User is welcome to repaint the model in any livery(s) desired. Uploads of repainted models are also welcome. No prior permission is required.
The lightmap texture (_L) included with this archive is a simple placeholder file. User must build their own lightmap file for end use.
Flight dynamics are based on the default B737-400, so it will work as an AI model, but will not operate realistically as an B707. If anyone makes any improvements to the flight model which lets the AI model fly more realistically as an B707, please send me a copy and I'll include it in a future update.

Installation
Unzip the archive directly into your flight simulator's Aircraft folder. It will automatically be setup as a regular, flyable model. To include the model in your ATC traffic, you need to use utilities such as Lee Swordy's "Traffic Tools". This is a freeware utility available at most major flight sim websites.
